Worried about the buildings going up around this gorgeous eye catching building. Needs to breathe and be seen.

Tall and ugly building at the top of Blackfriars Road, which is also full of tall dystopian buildings making it a constant cold wind tunnel with no character.

The worst thing about One Blackfriars is that it reflects the sun onto every other building nearby depending on the time of day and blinds all nearby. All you ever see is delivery drivers going in and out providing cold food to whoever lives there and can’t be bothered to leave the house.

The main occupants seem to be rich oriental people, which says it all about the priorities in this country these days when housing is affordable and unattainable for the country’s residents. This complex offers zero value to the area.

Fabulous place. Glad to be inside this famous London Skyscraper, the interior design is mind-blowing, nicely done - it reminds me of Mandarin Oriental Hotel also Shangri-La Hotel.

And I appreciate a residential building like this at the River Thames. It’s a next level of luxurious living. Hope people appreciate it and see the great value of it…

Helpful concierge team and hands on👍
Thanks Flavio, Rob, Fedele who have been assisting us beyond extra miles. We were welcomed by confusions and surprises, our property manager agent unfortunately made us clueless about the proper arrangements needed to be done before we moved in ( gas, heater, welcoming letter for induction of the amenities, leftover 'trashes' from previous tenant, not to mention that when Flavio checked the gas meter, we found out that there's overdue payment from 'previous' tenant.
Nice property, 5 stars amenities, clean, hi tech and again awesome concierge team.
Thanks!

This bulging vertiginous skyscraper set on a landscaped mini-piazza appropriately resembles a glistening Pharaonic sarcophagus.
The irony is probably unintentional.
Curvilinear smooth, reflecting both light and mood from above, around and below with the self-assured mien that scale and opulence endows.
Mostly residential.

Looks futuristic and luxurious from the outside, however it is a terribly managed residential building. You can wait up to 10-15 minutes everyday for your lift. Concierge provides no service at all. They wont open your door nor help you with your luggages. They are chatting among themselves and have no experience of dealing with problems in the flats. There are many defects in the building, when reported, customer service do not care at all. Overall a terrible experience. Remember, if you ever order food deliveries, you are required to meet your courier downstairs at the lobby with your pyjamas, even if you spent 10 million pounds on your 4 bedroom penthouse in London.

You will pay 4 thousand pound rent per month and have to wait 10 minutes each time for a lift. That's about 1 hour waiting for lift each day. In a week day, that's pretty much a quarter of your active time in the apartment you are going to spend waiting lift!!! They tell you there's only two lifts and one of them is for delivery staff and almost never available to residents. So basically it's 150 households sharing 1 lift. Occupancy rate now is only 40 percent...
